No.1 Sardinia, Italy (Score representing overall average levels of satisfaction = 88.08%)

2,000km of coastline edges Sardinia, adrift in the Mediterranean. Costa Smeralda, in the northeast, is a playground for jet-setting billionaires and celebrities and is probably the best-known settlement here. Still, colourful villages and archaeological ruins also draw travellers here – and keep them coming back.
